Thanks for the info on the typical recruiting habits of banks in that area. I plan on being one of those "Anglos that speak fluent Mandarin" =P I also plan on getting a dependent visa because my wife is a local of Hong Kong and just focus on certifications (registering for the CFA lvl 1 exam for this summer) and try to back it up with my GPA, I'm pretty sure all of that combined with all of my past experiences and extra cirricular activites relating to finance would help my application. Now it's just down to starting my network in hong kong (through HKSFA & HRs/Employees at various firms) and keeping a spreadsheet of firms of interest with recruiting dates/dead lines so I can stay on top of things.
Thanks all for the feedback.
P.S. I'm going to try to get another internship offer through Deutsche Bank over here in Jacksonville, Florida. I couldn't accept the internship this summer because of my summer class schedule.
Through that I'm going to try to get in touch with some of the people in Hong Kong
